New Delhi, Aug 9 (PTI) Filmmaker Ram Gopal Verma's tongue-in-cheek posts may be miles away from Amitabh Bachchan's philosophical musings, but the controversial director says that it is Big B who inspired him to blog.

Verma who has directed the megastar in many films, including the hit Sarkar series, said that it was Bachchan who made him realise the full scope of the medium.

"I knew about it before but it was Amitji who sort of educated me about the scope of blogging and then I started writing and the feedback was interesting," the director told PTI.

And Verma who receives plenty of flak for his no-holds-barred commentary on the blog, said that he is unfazed by the often scathing criticism.

"The very idea behind the blog is to elicit comment and the brickbats come along with the bouquets.
